The Porsche 911

Sunday, October 5, 2014

Every car enthusiast on the planet has a favorite automobile. Be it an exotic, vintage machine or even something more eclectic. Donato Maniscalco is a Porsche 911 fan and he’s been one since he was ten years old. For him, the pleasure comes from not simply owning this beautiful 1968 911T, but whipping it through the Italian countryside every chance he can.

It was developed for the driver who truly understands performance, goes to the track and simply wants the best of the best when it comes to function. There are no compromises here and like the old adage states, “Porsche – there is no substitute”.

Porsche announced plans to introduce a hybrid version of the Cayenne in 2005, three years after it had launched its sports SUV. A functioning vehicle was shown at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, with the production version, dubbed S Hybrid, arriving three years later. Brought to the United States in late 2010, the S Hybrid was motivated by a supercharged, 3.0-liter, V-6, gasoline engine and an electric motor that cranked out a total of 380 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. As the second-gen Cayenne received its facelift for the 2015 model year, the Germans announced the launch of the S E-Hybrid, a plug-in model set to replace the S Hybrid.

More powerful, fuel-efficient, and eco-friendly when compared to its predecessor, the S E-Hybrid is also the first plug-in hybrid in the premium-SUV segment. What’s more, the revised hybrid also enables Porsche to become the first manufacturer to sell three production plug-in hybrids. The Cayenne joins the plug-in version of the Panamera sports sedan and the 918 Spyder supercar.

The Cayenne S E-Hybrid makes its official debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

Porsche is attempting to build on the already flawless package that is the Boxster S by subjecting the roadster to the racy GTS treatment. It’s now the most powerful Boxster you can buy and we’ve tested it on UK roads.
Based on the Boxster S, Porsche has extracted a further 15bhp and 10Nm of torque from the 3.4-litre flat-six engine, with power now standing at a healthy 326bhp. It also sits lower to the ground by 20mm, while smoked lamp clusters and 20-inch arch-filling alloy wheels have also been added.

If we’re honest the incremental power hike isn’t immediately obvious, but power delivery is flawlessly linear with maximum grunt at 6,700rpm. There’s a throaty snarl from the standard-fit sports exhaust – usually a £1,530 option – and the harder you push it through the rev range the deeper the bellow, with crackling pops and bangs when you lift off the throttle.
But the added goodies don’t stop there. Porsche also chucks in the PASM adaptive dampers as standard – usually £971. Switch them to Sport or Sport Plus and the Boxster sharpens up around the edges, while the roadster’s appetite for corners is heightened.

You can crack 0-62mph in 5 seconds flat, which could be considered as rather leisurely for a powerful sports car these days. But the Boxster is about so much more than outright performance. It’s incredibly agile and precise on the road, which does mean it can be tricky to detect the active engine mounts at work, which are part of the Sport Chrono pack – a £1,085 option on any other Boxster.
The mid-mounted engine already gives the car perfect balance, so it never feels unsettled, allowing you to make the most of all 326bhp.

For a car which is so focused and direct, the ride is still fairly forgiving even with the standard 20-inch alloys.
